Car owner Moody dies at age 86

In Mooresville, N.C., Ralph Moody, a racing pioneer and Hall of Famer who won 93 races as a car owner on NASCAR's top circuit, died at age 86.

He died Wednesday at his home after a long illness.

Between 1958 and 1972, Moody was a partner with John Holman in the Holman-Moody Racing shop that consistently put drivers in the winner's circle and helped make Charlotte, N.C., a motorsports center. Moody also won five races as a driver in 1956-57.

One of the many racers who benefited greatly from Moody's expertise in building fast cars was David Pearson. Thirty of Pearson's 105 Cup victories were in Holman-Moody Fords. He won 16 times in 1968 and 11 times in 1969 on his way to the championship in each year.

Moody was inducted last year into the N.C. Auto Racing Hall of Fame. He was inducted into the National Motorsports Press Association Stock Car Racing Hall of Fame in 1990 and into the International Motorsports Hall of Fame in 1994.

In Talladega, Ala., Rusty Wallace got a chance to run his NASCAR Nextel Cup Dodge at Talladega Superspeedway without a horsepower-sapping carburetor restrictor plate.

The result was an eye-popping lap at more than 216 mph.

"We hit 228 at the end of the straightaway," an excited Wallace said of his run Wednesday on the 2.66-mile oval.

"It was a deal that I certainly will remember for the rest of my life."

But the longtime Cup star and former series champion isn't expecting NASCAR to abandon the plates anytime soon.

"I'll tell you this: there's no way we could be out there racing at those speeds," Wallace said.

"It was neat to be out there running that fast by myself, but it would be insane to think we could have a pack of cars out there doing that."
